Question for the UK crowd

[Andre]

A mate of mine dives hes older than me probably given up now but we were talking about sharks cause of me surfing and him fishing via scuba gear. At a place called sth Walkerville here where we surf he recons he was in the water with a bag of fish off a rope connected to the buoy he was standing on the bottom of a sand hil thats underwater the same one we surf around. He recons the water shifted in his vicinity and he turned to the deep and an eye the size of a tea cup cruised past checking him out and thirty feet of great white behind it kept coming to look at him as he was frozen to the spot. He had a power head on spear and thought about going for it with a prod but got the feeling this thing may just go off the dial so slowly backed out up the hill into the shallows. The next week or so he was out a hundred miles further down the coast and went to prod a small shark in the head with it and it was a dud!
Lucky escape the week before.

He was just the other side of those rocks the fishermen are standing on.In the deep just behind that patch of rock you see in the water there with sand all around it.
